PN, you lucky girl, I adore Victoria ! Hubby and I spent a few days there early June last year, on our cycling tour. It's a fabulous area for cycling. One day we rode around the perimeter of the Saanich Peninsula, with great roads and gorgeous scenery (and some of those homes - wow). Another day we rode out to Butchart Gardens - that hill you have to climb on the way out sure is fun, oy! - and the Butterfly Museum. It's such a cycling-friendly environment, with lots of urban bike trails. We stayed close to downtown and we had no trouble cycling through the city. I need to go back there !
